Though not an ornithologist nor a professional photographer, i was amazed by the variety of birds seen at Vadnagar, my native place. In an effort to document these migratory and non-migratory species, i ended up with a large collection of images. This prompted me to share what i saw with the world wide web viewers. - R. Gajjar

VADNAGAR, an ancient city, attracts a variety of resident and migratory birds, surrounded as it is by several fresh-water bodies. In a short span of 60 days in the winter of 2011, as many as 70 different species of birds had been observed and documented within the peripheral area of 3 km from the city center. No wonder, Vadnagar has been emerging as a newly-discovered bird sanctuary in Gujarat and attracting attention of enthusiastic bird watchers.
